Alma De Fuego^t¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Oliver Cole

11/2

Raced too keenly on testing ground on debut, but with tongue strap added he shaped better when fifth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 9/1) 15 days ago. Could be in the mix back up in trip.

Form: 75

Aneirin's Sword

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne

25/1

Foaled May 7. 70,000 gns yearling, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to useful 1m winner Under Siege. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). Has a fairly useful standard to aim at first time up.

Causing Problems³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: James Owen

28/1

Has looked in need of the experience in 2 starts so far, again racing freely when last of 6 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 38 days ago. Needs to learn to settle if he's to fulfil his potential.

Form: 66

Chelio²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley

125/1

Slowly away and didn't make much impact when eighth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 100/1) on debut 29 days ago. Looks one for further down the line.

Form: 8

Keep It Classic²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: W J Haggas

28/1

Sent off at big odds (150/1) and went with little encouragement on debut when thirteenth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) 20 days ago. Needs to leave his first run well behind.

Form: 0

One Of The Boys

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M L W Bell

9/1

Foaled April 3. €95,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner River Thames and 1m winner Star Jasmine. Dam, 6f winner, sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Angel's Hideaway. Yard capable of readying a newcomer.

Richie's Rocket²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

30/100

Made appeal on paper and produced a promising first effort when third of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 22/1) 20 days ago. The one to beat with improvement to come.

Form: 3

(7)

Solar Phoenix²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: R A Teal

33/1

Bit of promise in novice at Bath (6f, good) on debut, but failed to progress when fifth of 11 in similar event at the same C&D (5/1) 3 weeks ago. More needed switched to all-weather.

Form: 55

(10)

Amber Hamur¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Doughty| T: G Boughey

80/1

Modest form in 2 starts so far, running to a similar level as on debut when fifth of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 45

(3)

Laughterintherain²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| BF

18/1

Was strong in the betting (3/1) but ran very green when tenth of 11 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 29 days ago. Will need to have learnt plenty from that first outing.

Forecasts

Richie's Rocket (30/100), Alma De Fuego (11/2), Royal Poetry (6/1), One Of The Boys (9/1), My Mate Mackley (14/1), Laughterintherain (18/1), Aneirin's Sword (25/1), Causing Problems (28/1), Keep It Classic (28/1), Solar Phoenix (33/1), Amber Hamur (80/1), Chelio (125/1)

RICHIE'S ROCKET shaped encouragingly on debut when keeping on for third behind a previous winner at Newmarket 20 days ago and he can build on that effort to open his account. Alma de Fuego may well emerge as the chief threat, with newcomer One Of The Boys another worth a precautionary market check.
